INTRODUCTORY NOTE 



which he described, no less than eight were recorded from this station, seven of them 

 occurring nowhere else. His three remaining types came from St. 346 on the Burdwood 

 Bank, outside the convergence line. As a result of this lack of material from St. 420, 

 the particular object which I had in view in undertaking the examination of the deposits 

 remains unfulfilled, hardly any of Pearcey's types having been identified with certainty 

 at the other stations. Otherwise, however, large additions have been made to the faunal 

 list of the Weddell Sea, 229 species and varieties being listed in the following report, 

 including four new species, as against 138 species and varieties recorded by Pearcey 

 from stations within the Antarctic convergence. The discrepancy is even greater than 

 these numbers suggest, for included in Pearcey's list of 138 species are the following 

 fifty-two species which I did not meet with in my examination of material, although a 

 few of them have been tentatively identified as synonyms of my records.

The majority of these missing species (marked with an asterisk) were recorded from 

 St. 420, off Coats Land, from which I had no material, or St. 342 in the Scotia Sea, 

 where the sample received was too small for examination. It would therefore seem that 

 Pearcey's examination of the Scotia material was rather superficial. If it had been carried 

 through exhaustively his paper, which was the first in the Antarctic field, would have
